This fascinating plan of Birmingham in 1778, just after the opening
of Birmingham's first canal in 1769, when folded out measures 890mm
x 1000mm. It will be a great resource for local historians, family
historians and all those interested in the City of Birmingham.
Digitally re-mastered in colour from the original, it captures this
famous manufacturing town at a time of rapid expansion. The map has
been meticulously re-produced from the antique original and printed
on 90 gsm "Progeo" paper which was specially developed as a map
paper. It has high opacity to help reduce show through and a cross
grain giving it greater durability to as the map is being folded.
This is a detailed plan of Birmingham in 1750; just before the
beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, when folded out measures
890mm x 1000mm. It will be a great resource for local historians,
family historians and all those interested in the City of
Birmingham. Digitally re-mastered in colour, it details the many
streets and public buildings from the "city of a thousand trades".

The Huebinger series of automotive publications were popular a
century ago as adventurous motorists braved the primitive roads and
uncertain terrain of Iowa and beyond. Noted landmarks on these
roadmaps include schools, houses, churches, piles of stumps,
unusual rocks, cemeteries, and windmills. Today, these map
collections are actually history books showing how towns and cities
have developed, roads have changed, and some communities have
disappeared. This booklet is an enlarged reprint of the original
Huebinger's Map and Guide for Panora Speedway published by The Iowa
Publishing Company, Des Moines, Iowa in 1912. Each page has been
enlarged and enhanced to correct faded type and pages that were
discolored with age. This Guide was scanned directly from the 1912
original, not from a later scanning. The Panora Speedway was an
early highway in Iowa from the Hyperion Club in Des Moines to
Guthrie Center, a distance of about 35 miles. The maps in this
travel guide show towns and streets as well as the landmarks that
guided Iowa travelers in 1912: country schools, cemeteries, piles
of boulders, flowing wells, and other quaint and charming
guideposts. There are pages of automtove and travel advertisements
and descriptions of each town on the Speedway.

222 pages with 62 total maps Locating original landowners in maps
has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family
Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners
(patent maps) in what is now Kosciusko County, Indiana, gleaned
from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it
offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there
are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and
a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many
historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to
help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a
person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The
combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of
American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods,
examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and
towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in
old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps
but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps
show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the
federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin
near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's
